Anyone been to Popcorn Park Zoo out in Ocean County? It's home to dozens of rescued animals from lions down to turtles. I went last week, it was amazing. Lions and tigers and cougers and a bobcat and bears and sheep and pigs and deer and a moose (or so I was told, I didn't see it) and ducks and birds and an albino snake and llamas and a camel and all sorts of good stuff.

Definately was worth a trip all the way

Actually, it's worth the trip just to say "llama" and "emu" alot. Which I did.

NOTE: Don't know why the images won't just appear, but I suppose they can be clicked on...

We have a few animals we sponsor there. The muntjacks are my favorite.

I used to shear the sheep there, years ago. They gave us a tour afterward that was always awesome. I learned that deer, when tame, will never stop licking you, ever. Gah.

I am a big fan of the place. My favorite is the lone Emu over by the rabbits. I will stay there and feed and pet him (or her) all day.

Interesting place, espicially since the animals are rescues. Thats something to certainly appreciate. So hard to find animals like that homes today, its nice to see someone really care. I'm also a big fan of the Cape May Zoo, with that boardwalk construction and variety of animals its a sure bet for a fun day.

Anyone have directions? I have been taking my son to Space Farms the past couple years,sounds like this place is a bit more animal friendly.
